Micaela believes she is not doing well in science because she is simply not good in science, and that any effort she makes would be wasted. She is exhibiting a ______ mindset.

Respuesta :

The correct answer is fixed

We can understand the mindset as our mental attitudes, the growth mentality according to our perception of ourselves and our potential, with the idea that we can increase our brain's ability to learn anything and resolve any type of objection.

According to Dr. Carol Dweck, praising the brain does not stimulate self-esteem and achievement, but taking the brain out of the comfort zone is the great mystery to building safe bridges for an evolved mindset. With a mind willing to build new neural trails it is possible to raise or even expand the degree of any skill, this is due to a greater perception of unknown learning.

In the Fixed Mindset there is no cerebral confrontation, nor is there a new neural trail being formed, that is, it has a static comfort zone implanted.

Here, the person believes that its basic characteristics such as: competence and intelligence are not enough, they perceive them as fixed and unchanged traits; which are just documents, unable to develop them. It is what we bring from traditions, values ​​and beliefs, placed in our mind, that prevents us from making decisions, growing and evolving.

Most of the time it is believed that talent alone creates success without effort. That the quantity and quality of expertise and skills are genuine and that nothing can be done to develop or improve them.
